In a certain code language, “ARE” is coded as “87”, and “NOT” is coded as “4197”. How will “CAT” be coded in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 57
The logic followed here is:
ARE” is coded as “87”
Consider the alphabetical positions of the letters and multiply them.
A (1) × R (18) × E (5)
1 × 18 × 5 = 90
Now, subtract 3 from this number.
= 90 - 3 = 87.
Similarly,
“NOT” is coded as “4197”
N (14) × O (15) × T (20)
= 14 × 15 × 20 = 4200
Subtract 3 from it.
= 4200 - 3 = 4197
Finally,
CAT will be coded as:
C (3) × A (1) × T (20)
= 3 × 1 × 20 = 60.
Subtract 3 from it
= 60 - 3 = 57.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
